Jesus, You’re My Best Friend!

John 15:15

But now I call you friends because I have made known to you everything I heard from My Father.

David and Jonathan were best friends. They even made a covenant to be best friends forever no matter what happened in the future. Covenant implies a bond that cannot be broken except by death. Such friendship does not expect anything in return. Rather, each friend thinks of what he can do for the other to make him happy. When Jonathan found out that his father, Saul, wanted to kill David, he tried with all his might to protect David. He would willingly sacrifice his own life to protect the life of David.

Jonathan was a true friend to David. Jonathan’s genuine friendship shows a glimpse of Jesus. As our best friend, Jesus has made a very big sacrifice for us. His sacrifice shows that He is selfless and He puts our lives above all other things, even above His own life. Jesus has come to earth to sacrifice His life and He has called us His best friends. 

Remember, you have a best friend who is willing to sacrifice Himself in order to save you. A best friend who loves and cares about you. He is Jesus Christ!

Prayer

Jesus, You are my best friend in my life. I am so blessed and I thank You for this privilege. I love You. Amen.
